  \class QSimplex

  The QSimplex class is a Linear Programming problem solver based on the two-phase
  simplex method.

  It takes a set of QSimplexConstraints as its restrictive constraints and an
  additional QSimplexConstraint as its objective function. Then methods to maximize
  and minimize the problem solution are provided.

  The two-phase simplex method is based on the following steps:
  First phase:
  1.a) Modify the original, complex, and possibly not feasible problem, into a new,
       easy to solve problem.
  1.b) Set as the objective of the new problem, a feasible solution for the original
       complex problem.
  1.c) Run simplex to optimize the modified problem and check whether a solution for
       the original problem exists.

  Second phase:
  2.a) Go back to the original problem with the feasibl (but not optimal) solution
       found in the first phase.
  2.b) Set the original objective.
  3.c) Run simplex to optimize the original problem towards its optimal solution.
